Elejah: Love Story

Chapter 3: Living Arrangements

Elena's POV

I wake up to whispering right outside my room. I roll over and fall off of the bed. I get up and here laughter. I glare at my brother who was sitting on the bed. The person outside barged in to see what happened.

Elijah: Is everything alright in here?

Me and Jer: Yeah

Elijah: OK?

Then me and Jer busted up laughing.

Elijah couldn't help but to chuckle.

Elijah: Ok, so I just talked to the doctor

Me: And?

Elijah: And you're free to go, but your Aunt Jenna is going to be your guys guardian. But she won't be here for two weeks. So in those two weeks you guys will be staying  with me.

Me: Wait, they're just letting us stay with a total stranger???

Elijah: Well not exactly, Ashlynn will be with us too.

Elijah stared into my eyes and I could see something in his eyes. I don't know what it was but there was something there... it almost looked like love!!! We leave and start heading to our house to get some stuff.

Me and Jer go to get out of the car and Elijah pulls me back.

Elijah: Elena Gilbert, I just need you to know that I would never hurt you! And I know you don't know me very well, but from now on you will never be alone. I will always be here for you Elena.

I don't know why but his words were comforting. But there was a part of me that knew something was off about him.

Me: I trust you Elijah. I don't know why, but I trust you.

Elijah's POV

I was waiting out in the car while the Gilberts were getting their stuff. So I got my journal out and decided to write.

Dear Diary,
Is it possible that in the past twenty-four hours that I've known Elena Gilbert, that I could actually care for her? I don't know. All I know is that I never want to see her suffer like that again. I will do all I can to make sure that Elena Gilbert will never get hurt again!!!

Elena's POV

I was done getting the things I needed and Jer was still finding things. I had a lot on my mind and decided to write in my diary.

Dear Diary,
I can't believe they're gone. I am so confused and my moms not here for me to talk to. Its Elijah. I just met him and I feel so safe around him. Why do I feel so safe around a total stranger? He's hiding something from us. I will find out what it is. If it's the last thing I do.

Jer: Elena? Are you ready?

I look up at my brother and see that he's been crying. I run over and hug him. Then I hear a knock at the front door. We walk down side by side and I can't help but to feel thankful to have Jer and Elijah here with me.
